OR he knew, Nate knew, mma professionals knew, smart fans knew. This is sport and entertainment. Nate is now RICH. Why? Because of CONOR MCGREGOR and his FANS. It's time to celebrate the arrival of McGregor and his behavior. Lord knows Nate is. Stop bitching and enjoy the show.I agree. Also:
All these fighters that are suddenly standing up for him, telling him to hold his head high, etc...
Do they know the stuff he has said? How disrespectful and flat out pathetic his trash talk has been?
Perhaps, instead of tweeting Meme's to fans someone like Chris should have done something that mattered and tried to talk some sense in to conor or have a word with him about the disrespectful hyperbole he spouted. If us lazy, uneducated, no fight IQ fans can see this backlash coming then why couldn't they.
Would have been much more helpful for someone to pull conor aside and have a heart to heart chat about what he is setting himself up for.
Seems a little silly if at least UFC fighters would've missed the McGregor show ... hell, most of them were sitting laughing when he started talking at conferences and such. He's an entertainer, and the fighters know that.OR he knew, Nate knew, mma professionals knew, smart fans knew. This is sport and entertainment. Nate is now RICH. Why?

because real mma fans can separate the entertainment from the sport. I'm a Conor and Nate fan. Felt bad for Conor and happy for Nate's payday. It's possible to understand the complexity of this sport and it's very real entertainment component. No one makes money if few people watch. The arrival of McGregor is being celebrated by wise mma fans and mma professionals. Now guys like Nate can retire before they destroy every brain cell. McGregor has been very good for the sport and he will improve as a fighter by competing against elite athletes.They why are fans and others now bitching because of the backlash.
Wanna behave like an asshole - well accept the backlash when it comes.

How good is Jon Jones ground game?
Nope, you simply don't understand this business. McGregor has increased his fan base after this defeat. Why? Because he handled defeat well. People want drama, not perfection. McGregor w ill continue to improve and win or lose he will stay near the top for awhile. Nate had 25 fights . Many victories and defeats. Now he is a millionaire and on top. This is the fight business. McGregor isn't going anywhere and neither are his fans.One more loss and this joke of a train derails hard, the big paydays, the cars, the shit talking, all going to be a footnote in history after Frankie takes his 145 belt.
Well he runs his mouth to sale out his fight, if you ain't running your mouth you are not going sale the PPV. A no body fighter came out no wheres hitting 1 mill PPV buys says something.Saenchai is truly a King. Connor will never accomplish what this man has. That sad,Connor gets all this shit because of his mouth,but his performance against Nate wasn't impressive at all. If Connor got truly humbled by Nate and his shouts his fucking mouth, then he will get some respect back.

Bro I was here when Te Te was Te Te LolChin, I was here when A Bit Of The Old Ultraviolence drank his piss, I was here when Fawlty was an Affair, I was here when PB melted down, here when Still In Kansas passed, here when Chuck passed, I was here, man.Member since 2015, it's not like you seem like a veteran yourself.
Oh yeah? But were you here when Cymen, YouEffSea and Grappling Dummy were!? LOL at the PB melt down .. that will never be forgotten.Bro I was here when Te Te was Te Te LolChin, I was here when A Bit Of The Old Ultraviolence drank his piss, I was here when Fawlty was an Affair, I was here when PB melted down, here when Still In Kansas passed, here when Chuck passed, I was here, man.
You're ignorant. There is a reason Firas and others respect McGregor and what he brings to the table. Firas and others have publicly commented after the loss on McGregor's high skill level and potential. He knows fighters much better then you could ever dream of. You are just another victim of Conor hate. You let it infect everything, even your intelligence. You watch mma. You are not a professional in the sport. McGregor and his millions of fans are going nowhere. Just like Ireland is not going to disappear. How about you stop the bullshit hating on Conor and thank him for bringing drama to the sport and attracting millions of fans. This has culminated in higher pay for fighters and expanded the entire sport. Nate's rich now. How about you post about that instead of all the immature hate garbage.I've been following the sport for close to 20 years. Don't pretend to know what I understand or don't. You think McGregor is the first loud mouth to come along? You think he's the first guy to sell seats?
Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture 1,050,000 PPV
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir 1,600,000 PPV (All time record)
Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin 1,160,000 PPV
Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velesquez 1,050,000 PPV
That's 4,860,000 PPV sales in 4 fights.
